Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

maclock Honestly, Cruising isn't that good of a film. That's it. I guess there's a reason that I never saw this particular Pacino film until yesterday. You can give this one a miss.

Kirpianuscus ...are the basic ingredient who defines this film. protests, critics, ambiguity of script, Al Pacino responsability for a character who preserves influences from many others films remaining a challenge and something who propose the controversies as basic tool for understand "Cruising". lost in details, it is just a policier. in not the most familiar space. but interesting for the force of message, for the dedication of Al Pacino and, sure, for the portrait of a world who, for many, could be reduced at fiction.

Irishchatter Al Pacino would've been better off in saying no to the project because, the movie didn't have the feel for me of being a good movie. The reason i say that is, the storyline lacked in due to it being all over the shop. I honestly thought Pacinos character would appear at the beginning in order to, investigate this homophobic crime case and then pretty much deciding to pretend to be a gay hooker. However it concentrated on two drag queens and two police officers having sex in a police car. Among the other cast, I thought it didn't concentrate on the main characters as much, it was just pure baloney.Wouldn't call this one of Al Pacinos best movies in fairness......

Get_your_azz_to_Mars William Friedkin's controversial 'Cruising' is a challenging and oftentimes frustrating film. The story centers around Al Pacino going undercover to find a serial killer in the gay BDSM culture of late 70's NYC. The story seems simply enough, right? Well, it's deceiving as what Friedkin does is take the audience into a dark abyss of sordid sex, extreme debauchery, and brutal violence. It is, quite honestly, one of the more uncomfortable American films of the period to sit through.The problem with the picture are the character motivations are vague for virtually all involved (Pacino, the killer, and the police chief). Why is the killer doing this? Why is Pacino starting to lose it? What is the deal with the police chief? Does he care about Pacino or not? Everything is so opaque and mysterious that the film is both fascinating and aggravating at the same time. And perhaps that was done on purpose, but considering reportedly 40 minutes was cut from the film I would imagine that many of those questions I posed were more clear. The ending itself is even more strange and confusing and I would suspect that while the ending wouldn't have been wrapped up in a nice little bow for the audience (nor would I expect that in a Friedkin film), the viewer could at least attempt to make more sense of it.
